GIVE less, GIVE more means simplyfying gift giving. Finding a meaningful gift does not have to be stressful or costly. Instead, finding a useful gift can be as simple as a handcrafted locally made item or gifting a lesson or a measure towards a health goal, focusing on simply carving time for a lost or hidden talent and gifts that receive use or are consumed.

We are JUMPING WITH JOY to be a part of the White River Nursery Fall Arts and Crafts Fair day.

If we weren’t excited enough to just make a drive over, we get to hang out at this amazing place all day.

White River Nursery is family owned and specializes in native plants of the Ozarks. They rock and roll when it comes to personal service and the quality of the plants they offer is hands down the best, in my humble opinion.

When you shop WRN you know they love what they do and they spend time to find out what you love.

We will be there with our Good Acres Life Consciously Crafted salves, lotion and balm. We are also excited to sell three of our latest product extensions.

We will offer testing of our Soothing Salve, Restorative Lotion and also Whisker Wrangler.
